Following Flow Traders' 3Q25 pre-close update, we reduce our earnings forecast for 2025F but increase our 12-month target price as we roll forward the book value assumption. Based on a 1.5x book value multiple (of €19.18 per share), we increase our 12-month target price to €28.77 (previously €27.00) while maintaining our HOLD recommendation.
We update our model ahead of Azelis' 3Q25 results on 23 October. We trim our 2025F-27F Adj. EBITDA estimates by c.5% to reflect ongoing weakness in several of Azelis' end-markets, predominantly driven by trade uncertainty. We maintain our BUY but lower our target price from €21 to €19 per share.
In this October update of our Dynamic Top Pick List we are removing VGP while adding Shurgard and Wolters Kluwer. Since its recent inclusion in our Dynamic Top Pick List in July-25, VGPs share rose by 10.6%. While we still believe there is significant upside to the share price, we don't see short term catalysts. In fact, the macro picture remains cloudy with the jury still out on the impact of tariffs and the erratic US policy shifts. Also, we are a bit concerned that competition in Western Eur...

In this September update we added 2 stocks to the KBC Securities Dynamic Top Pick List : We added AB InBev after the share price weakened post-2Q results. ABI's 2Q volumes fell 1.9% organically, below expectations, mainly due to a 9% drop in Brazil where a price hike led to temporary market share loss. However, strong revenue per hl growth (+4.9%) drove a 6.5% organic EBITDA increase, with 1H growth at +7.2%, near the top of FY guidance (+4–8%). AB InBev, the world's largest brewer, generates ...
1H25 revenues landed at €21.7m considerably below our €36m estimate. Adj. EBITDA stands at €-3.8m compared to our €+3.5m forecast. Segment reporting has changed and company no longer reports WaaS and non-WaaS but now differentiates the numbers between project and recurring business. FY25 guidance was issued and cautiously calls for growth in turnover vs. 2024. The 2025 outlook does not include any projections for Waterkracht on which the company will issue a separate update when relevant. Compan...

We update our model and lower our target price to €21 per share from €22 previously, to reflect recent results. We reiterate our BUY as the medium-term growth fundamentals of the specialty chemicals distribution model are seen intact, even though the industry is currently moving through a rough patch.
